I think you can almost do the whole NSW coast in day hops. I would love to read of your experiences.  |
You can do it in day hops, but you have to cross barred entrances. Most are fine though. We mostly day hopped, but did 2 overnighters, one to avoid Ballina, and the first because the entrance to Port Macquarie was breaking all the way across.
Easter should be a reasonably good time to do it, the north-east sea breezes can start early and get quite strong in summer. In winter you have a better chance of Westerlies, which make life easy, but you need warm clothes.
As mentioned before, get Alan Lucas' book, you'll refer to it frequently.
